The albino hoplo catfish is very active and peaceful in the tank. It adapts well to the Amazon water conditions. The fish looks striking with its white coloration and stays healthy even after a few weeks. Easy to maintain with regular water changes.

I kept this fish in a 40-gallon tank with other peaceful species. The water parameters stayed stable, and the fish didn’t show any aggression. It’s a beautiful addition to any freshwater setup.
